Struts 2 basics

This talk will cover the basics of Struts 2, the latest version of Struts and the marriage of WebWork and Struts 1. We'll be discussing the features of Struts 2 and how developers can get up and running with Struts 2.

Struts 2 is the latest version of Struts that started a port of the WebWork framework into the Apache Struts codebase. From this foundation, Struts 2 has added a number of features not found in WebWork or Struts 1, including a plugin system that already has numerous plugins available and a number of additional features aimed at making Struts extremely extensible.

This talk will cover the following topics:

  • Setting up Struts2
  • Creating a simple page
  • Adding an action and dynamic content to the page
  • Adding a form to the page
  • Adding validation to the form

Attendees need not know anything about Struts or WebWork to attend this session.
